Houston Astros promote top prospect Forrest Whitley to Major League roster, recalling him while optioning Spencer Arrighetti. Whitley, a 2016 first-round pick, overcame 50-game suspension, shoulder issues, and a canceled 2020 season before undergoing Tommy John surgery. Despite control issues, his addition may aid in activating Justin Verlander off the injured list, and strengthen the struggling bullpen with a 5.45 ERA.
